	William Fox Talbot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Talbot was the only child of William Davenport Talbot, of Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire, and of Lady Elizabeth Fox Strangways, daughter of the 2nd earl of Ilchester.
		Talbot's original contributions included the concept of a negative from which many positive prints can be made (although the terms negative and positive were coined by Herschel), and the use of gallic acid for developing latent image.
		Talbot had no details, and this was after he had spent many thousands of pounds (then a small fortune) on his process over several years.

	A History of Photography, by Robert Leggat: TALBOT, William Henry Fox
		Talbot studied the classics and mathematics at Cambridge, was elected a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1822, and a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1832.
		Talbot attempted to draw with the aid of both a camera obscura and a camera lucida when producing his sketches, one of which was Villa Melzi.
		Talbot chose not to extend his patent to Scotland, and this paved the way for some outstanding photographs to be produced in Edinburgh by Hill and Adamson.

	William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877)
		Talbot's calotypes involved the use of a photographic negative, from which multiple prints could be made; had his method been announced but a few weeks earlier, he and not Daguerre would probably have been known as the founder of photography.
		Talbot's method of fixing the print by washing it in a strong solution of sodium chloride was inadequate, and the process was not successful until February 1839, when Herschel suggested fixing the negatives with sodium hyposulphite.
		In 1851 Talbot discovered a way of taking instantaneous photographs, and his "photolyphic engraving" (patented in 1852 and 1858), a method of using printable steel plates and muslin screens to achieve quality middle tones of photographs on printing plates, was the precursor to the development in the 1880s of the more successful halftone plates.

		Talbot used this discovery to make precise tracings of botanical specimens: he set a pressed leaf or plant on a piece of sensitized paper, covered it with a sheet of glass, and set it in the sun.
		Talbot discovered that an exposure of mere seconds, leaving no visible trace on the chemically treated paper, nonetheless left a latent image that could be brought out with the application of an "exciting liquid" (essentially a solution of gallic acid).
		Talbot's early photogenic drawings, such as those in the Bertoloni Album, with their shades of lilac and lavender, remained fugitive, for they were only partially stabilized with a solution of salt.

	Talbot’s Correspondence:‘Talbot’ vs. ‘Fox Talbot’
		The phrase ‘Fox Talbot’ is so harmonious and rolls off the tongue so easily that it is almost universally used for his name today.
		The ‘Fox’ so often associated with his surname was one of his given names, as it was a family name of his mother, Lady Elisabeth Feilding (the outspoken daughter of the 2nd Earl of Ilchester).
		The Fox was only a middle name and Talbot’s surname was never hyphenated, but it is not unusual to see it so treated in secondary literature.

		Meanwhile, the idea of photography came to William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877) whilst on holiday at Lake Como in Italy, using the Camera obscura and the Camera Lucida as aids to drawing.
		Talbot reflected: ‘on the immutable beauty of the pictures of nature's painting which the glass lens of the camera throws on the paper in its focus...fairy pictures, creations of a moment and destined as rapidly to fade away.
		Talbot's photographic experiments culminated in his greatest achievement when he made the crucial discovery: the development of the latent negative photographic image.

		It was easy to imagine oneself as old Fox in person (I know it was a surname, but I’ve watched too much of the X-Files), strolling around, enjoying the comfortable knowledge that this confection of gorgeous old buildings, a mix of timber-framed beauties and warm old stone, was all mine.
		Fox Talbot found that his negative originals could be used to produce many prints.
		Equally, though, realising that this was a new addition to the Fox Talbot household, William Henry might simply have wanted to show off his latest addition, the way you might proudly take a guest to see your new en-suite shower room.

		Not wanting to be outdone, however, Talbot announced his invention of the photogenic drawing in January 1839, two weeks after Louis-Jacques Mandé Daguerre's daguerreotype process was introduced in France.
		Talbot's negative/positive process, the calotype, was introduced in 1840.
		His invention, which shortened exposure times and allowed multiple prints to be made from a single negative, became the basis for photography as it is practiced today.

		Others had tried recording the images projected by a lens, but Talbot was the first to grasp the physical basis for realizing this dream and to conceive of a practical means for fixing these ephemeral images permanently onto a sheet of paper.
		A classicist, physicist, and mathematician by training, Talbot originally viewed his new invention as a means of visual documentation, particularly of the botanical specimens he loved so dearly.
		Illuminating these images with excerpts from Talbot's own writings and those of his contemporaries, this book is a visual celebration of the early days of photography.

		William Henry Fox Talbot(1800-1877) pioneered a process that formed the basis for both photography and photographic printing plates.
		In 1833, he began a series of experiments with paper treated with silver compounds, chosen because he knew silver nitrate was sensitive to light.
		Talbot later went on to invent the reverse picture(or negative) of an image that was recorded on light sensitive paper.

		Although the paper prints did not have the clarity of daguerreotypes (announced in the same year, 1839), his work was an important contribution to photography.
		The 1839 announcement of Daguerre's invention prompted Talbot to publish the results of his own work on what he called the calotype.
		Talbot's process, even more than Daguerre's, became the basis of modern photography because, unlike Daguerre's, which produces a single, positive image, Talbot's callotype is a negative image from which an unlimited number of positives can be printed.
